[Q] any way to restore stock rom and unroot

I'd like to return my wifi galaxy tab 2 10.1" (p5113) to the store, but they'll probably check to see if it's rooted. some posts say that i can restore the p5110 stock rom, but i'd also like to unroot the device. has anyone had any success doing this?

flash a stock rom using ODIN~~

there doesn't seem to be one, unless i'm mistaken. all other roms are rooted it seems. care to point me in the right direction?

Yeah i desperately need to flash my galaxy tab back to its stock rom. I flashed it and it lags dreadfully slow.

However, if they really want to check, they will look at the download counter. This must be 1 because you've flashed CWM. A better solution would be to flash CM9, which can be found at the link that I posted earlier.

Flashing from Cricket ROM to Retail

I have a Cricket Moto G that I want to flash to the retail ROM. I know that the bootloader can be unlocked using sunshine but I want to know if anyone else has successfully flashed their Moto G like this. Excuse my ignorance, I just want to get a little feedback before attempting this myself.

wondering the same. have you unlocked your bootloader yet? and are you talking about the moto g original or the lte model?

No, I haven't unlocked the bootloader yet. This is my girlfriend's phone and I don't want to attempt messing with it until I have a few more answers. It is an original 2013 model.

It appears that there was a loophole for older Moto Gs running 4.4.3 via XDA's JCase's Sunshine.
That hole has seemingly been patched, but anther workaround might be discovered. The Moto G runs at near stock & as of Nov. 17, 2014, the Cricket Moto G LTE is running the second most recent version of Android, and is on par with the retail version. Within the next month, Android L will be made available for the retail models. Hopefully, Cricket approves the release shortly thereafter.
Only substantial improvement I could see would be allowing additional APNs to be added. My thinking is that once SIM unlock occurs, that this option becomes available???

Yes. I currently running stock retail version ROM from the repository here in this forum. They are supposed to receive OEM updates and they are
Flashable through TWRP. Of course, you need to have unlocked boot loader, root access and a custom recovery.
I had a stint of using carbon ROM, I'm only a temporary passenger to the stock retail version to get my GPS fixed. But yes it works just fine

FYI you will be able to unlock boot loader with sunshine because the cricket version runs on 4.4.2

At this point i am not aware of any other ways. The cricket version was unlockable until a month or two ago. They may have changed it. Its probably due to the cricket moto G being cheaper. Or they may just make it unlockable when the phone turns obsolete.
I know $25 is a bit much, but when you get around to it, for me, it was worth it.
You will not get charged if it doesn't work.

After much searching and learning on these forums, I finally decided to give this a go. After unlocking the bootloader with Sunshine, I used this guide and to my surprise it went very smoothly and worked wonderfully. I'm still amazed that I didn't somehow foolishly brick my girlfriends phone lol. Anyway, She'll be glad that she no longer has the very annoying speakerphone bug (extremely low volume on initial switch, remedied by pushing vol up or down) on her phone anymore. Thanks for all the replies!

Need assistance with root and custom ROM TMO GS7 G930T

Could someone help me root and add a stable custom ROM to my TMO GS7 (G930T)? I'm tired of all the extra crap. I can't afford to brick this phone. I have some root experience, but I'm by no means a pro. I have all the latest updates from TMO. Unfortunately, I couldn't stop them in time. I don't have anything in trade, but might be able to help out somehow. Last phone I rooted was a TMO GS4 with the help of a moderator friend. He helped me tremendously with root, Ron, and a few extras like sdmaid, simfix, etc. I can do via chat, IM, etc. There are a lot of posts and it's hard to figure out which one is legit for my device. Thanks!

Anyone willing to help?

package disabler on app store, or flash u-firm

A lot of it seems to evolve around using Odin to flash the phone with the right firmware. It's not clear but there does definately seem to be an issue with SM-G930T Model. Just bricked and then unbricked my phone last night. WHITE KNUCKLE RIDE BY THE WAY!
I haven't found a solution yet but if I will I'll link you in!

How to root Moto X 1052 First Gen 5.1 Lollipop?

Dear Friends,
I have Moto X 1052 First Gen 5.1 Lollipop bought in India. I want to root it and flash Nougat 7.0. I searched this forum for tutorials but they mentioned the android version as 4.4.2 or 4.4.4.
Since I am on 5.1, kindly guide me. I would like to take nandroid backup first, so that I can restore the stock rom if something goes wrong.
A while ago I took adb backup of my phone from my linux desktop but I could not open it to check whether the backup was satisfactory.
I am feeling nervous coz its a costly phone and unfortunately I dont have back up phone.
Please guide.
Thank you,
FJ73

Moto x
What can I do for you?

All the years ive been self teaching ANDROID wishing for another to ask questions (no one i know even cares for tech no one knows what im talking about ever) u may b the first person I've ever reached out to to ?.
